Depends what it's fora £10 note for a 40p child fare would definitely be a "You're taking the piss" moment. But mostly we are swamped by £1 coins with kids and adults not having the correct change. Your best bet to appeasing the Busdriver Gods is to sheepishly enter the bus and with a big lovely smile on your face (as long as it's an honest one) simply say "I've only got a tenner, I'm so sorry." and generally most Drivers will be a nice as pie to you. It's the ones that slap the tenner down and say "£1.20, Mate!" who get the backlash.

I am always very apologetic and understandingI will go an buy something to get the change.
and normally it's £3.60 I'm paying.
I did however move to the city centre to avoid having to give First anymore of my money than I absolutely have to. (sorry)

No problemI totally agree - First cut their own thoat by being too greedy with the fare rises (I hope my bosses aren't reading this as it could be sack time)
But they have the £1 after 7pm Sunday to Thursday deal but there is no real reason why this shouldn't be for every day of the week. We also have the Red Route (52) Day and Week Savers (£3 and £9 respectively) and the same with the Orange Route (40, 41, 42, 94, 95) and the Purple Route (11, 12, 81, 82) but nowhere else gets these fantastic deals and it's only because those routes are heavily contended by Stagecoach - First have failed to seize the intiative time and time again.
